Nother of the female persuasion checking in. I agree that there is very little that is gender specific with regards to bushcrafting apart from as mentioned, tool-size*, some warmth/nutritional issues and certain ummm, hygene issues. * :naughty:

Same questions from me :)

I did have a look at some of the threads, but as you say the ratings seem to differ madly, hence the confusion :) I am not the most petite of girlies, so the fact that this range has a bit more room in the hips etc is quite a selling point. I see what you all mean about the ratings not...

It has been decreed that I am getting a sleeping bag for my birthday. This because I froze my **** off last summer in my supermarket sleeping bag. (It is fine for sleeping in a cabin in the summer, but it wasn't ok in my tent). I am looking at these temperature ratings and stuff and getting...

Had myself a little idea about how whether it would be feasible to deep fry in the field. Open fire would be a bad idea cos you would likely go up with flames, but I rekon I could do it safely enough over a Trangia. Anyone want to take bets on whether the oil will get hot enough? Anyone got...

Viking, as a n00b with no need for high-end (read expensive) equipment, I have been thinking of grabbing myself a pair of workmans trousies, like Blåkläder or Fristads, you know the kind? Kneepad room, good seams, plenty of pockets etc. Is that a really dumb idea?

Nother question has turned up. I have the Trangia fuel bottle, you know the one? I brought it downstairs last night to try my newly made sodacan stove and when I tipped it over and depressed the button it came spraying out of both spouts at pressure :eek: Was that due to taking it from my warm...

Thanks for the warm welcome all, having a great time and am learning loads already!

Crystal meth you say? Interesting :lmao: Again great advice, going to get a little paperclip and hook it onto the latching. Gonna hear with my sysadmin at work (an actual Swedish army dude) about fuel, I rekon what I am running on is the right stuff though (T-red as they call it here), it's...

Thanks for all the advice folks! This is great stuff! Ben , I didn't know there was wicking in there :eek: didn't let it soak at all. I hope I haven't like, burned the wicking or anything now by not having let it soak? I will fill up the burner with some meths and let it soak with the lid on...

Irish chick living in Sweden here, found the site while googling some questions, the answers always turned out to be at this site, so I figured I should join up! I was a scout for over ten years, starting from when I was 5 or so :) Haven't been out and about much since then though, but I...

Brought my new Trangia (series 27 duossal) on her maiden voyage today, and had a couple of questions. 1) How far up can I fill the fuel? I ran out between boiling my potatothingys and frying my bacon, leading to unacceptable delays in my dinner! Luckily there was snow all around so I could...
